SS7 seems to be very sensitive to the parts and software you use. I had someone else on YT share his results and they were lower than mine.
What stands out is the use of MiniGL. In Quake 2, is that the option 3dfx OpenGL? Or by replacing files manually?
I used the default OpenGL option, same with GLQuake. I think all the cards I used support full OpenGL ICD.
The VIA results used AmigaMerlin, I think these are the best drivers available? Could also be a factor, not sure.
So yea, good to know that there is some more performance to be had 😀 Especially if these are with sound, that's very impressive.
My approach to benching is more conservative. No tweaking, BIOS defaults, default drivers and off you go. That leaves people with some headroom for tweaking and beating the results 🤣
But maybe I could do a video "Tweaking SS7". So yea, please let me know what MiniGL you used, seems to work really well 😁 3DNow! is also impressive...
EDIT: Bloody lot of work you put into that project. So many benchmarks. I stripped it down to just a few benchmarks because otherwise it just becomes too hard...
